Very possible it is two aircraft. Happens a lot, especially when they share a name.

I'm sure that's precisely the word used by the pilot when it happened!

Looks like a lot more mission markings in the inverted aircraft. Also there were two Miss Donna Maes in 91 Group but different squadrons, "Miss Donna Mae" s/n 42-30433 flew with 410 Sqn. "Miss Donna Mae II" s/n 42-31540 flew with 331 Sqn. According to the "B-17 Nose Art Name Directory" there is no photo of "Miss Donna Mae" but it sure looks like one in the link

My grandfather was the radio gunner on the miss donna mae of the 410th. Would love any info you have.
